EL3475 | EtherCAT Terminal, 12-channel analog input, 4-port, multi-function, 333 mV, 24 bit, distributed power measurement, RJ45
The EL3475 is a 12-channel analog input that, with a 24-bit resolution and an input voltage of 333 mV, enables simple and detailed measurements in supply networks. With four RJ45 connections that can each connect three current and/or voltage transformers, the EL3475 is multi-functional and the ideal solution for keeping installation simple in demanding applications.
Power measurement
The integrated power measurement enables network monitoring, process control and power monitoring in the I/O system.
EL3783 | EtherCAT Terminal, 3-channel analog input, multi-function, 690 V AC, 1/5 A, 16 bit, 20 ksps, electrically isolated, oversampling
The EL3783 EtherCAT Terminal is a power monitoring I/O terminal used for state monitoring of a 3-phase AC voltage system. For each phase, voltage up to 400/690 Vrms and current up to 1 Arms/5 Arms are sampled as instantaneous values with a resolution of 16 bits. The six channels are measured simultaneously based on the EtherCAT oversampling principle with a temporal resolution of up to 50 µs and then passed on to the control system. With the processing power available there and in combination with the TwinCAT Function TF3650, true RMS or power calculations as well as complex user-specific algorithms can be calculated via the voltage and current characteristics. Through the oversampling principle, the terminal is able to measure at significantly shorter intervals than the cycle time of the control system. AC and DC parameters must be connected and measured with a common reference potential.
EL6689 | EtherCAT Terminal, 1-channel communication interface, GNSS, receiver
The EL6689 EtherCAT Terminal is a synchronization terminal for distributed clocks via direct connection to the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS). An antenna for this can be connected directly to the terminal via an antenna (SMA) connector. All active GNSS are supported: GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, Beidou. Thus, separate systems can be kept synchronized worldwide with a synchronicity of 100 ns, which elicits many advantages, e.g. for distributed space observation systems or distributed measurement systems for monitoring mains supplies.
TF8350 | TwinCAT 3 Power Technologies
TwinCAT 3 Power Technologies provides software modules for programming in-depth diagnostics in electrical power measurement based on the EL37x3. In addition, the same standardized interface as the one in TF8330 TwinCAT 3 Power Collector is available. Real-time optimized calculations of the effective values, frequency, harmonics, distortions etc. are delivered continuously in a 1 ms cycle. Advanced frequency determination methods and an instant Clarke/Park transform are included.
